Winter is coming.

Winter is coming. Judging from the white foothills, winter is here. Time to migrate....assuming the bed cover is ever installed on my pickup, heading south on the 16th to spend the white months in Placerville, CA. The bad news...I'm falling off the wagon. Time has come to actually build some of the kits I've accumulated, including the dreaded PLASTIC ones. I suppose I can be forgiven for the stick-and-tissue stuff (wood, after all, is nothing but raw material for paper), but the other.....oh, the shame of it. Included in the trove I'm transporting are the Trumpeter 1:200 USS Arizona (with four of the six available photoetch sets), one Revell 1:72 Gato, two Revell 1:72 Mk. VII U-boats (one with mine layer conversion kit, and both with a whole slew of resin and photoetch aftermarket sets), one Revell 1:72 Mk. IX U-boat (with ditto), one 1:72 Japanese Kaiten-carrier sub, one 1:72 Mk. XXIII U-boat, a Renwall atomic cannon, a 1:35 Leopold railgun, and as much smaller stuff as I can fit in the nooks and crannies of the pickup bed. BWAHAHAHAHA......anyone in the Placerville area that would mind playing Igor as I bring my creatures to life? Seriously, though....paper will not be left behind, as my portable stash of cardstock and trusty printer are also going with. And now the really serious question....are there any active IPMS clubs within the Placerville area? Considering my failing night vision, I wouldn't want to have to venture more than 20 minutes or so from Placerville, so downtown Sac is out.
